PhantomBigStu Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Another I wanted to enter, finally got a reasonably priced airfix Canberra. Whilst doing the prublue/camo one would fit with the two fighters I’ve already finished I actually have a corgi diecast in a similar scheme so instead it’s the lovely dambuster scheme in black and grey Edited June 6, 2019 by PhantomBigStu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm now in two minds about this one Stu; on one hand I'm delighted to see your Canberra added into the mix but then I've also found a sudden need for adding at least two into my own stash after seeing the options on that decal sheet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Sellers yet to post the kit, until it arrives dug out an abandoned build from earlier in the year abandoned as it was sandfest, and gave it a load of sanding Edited March 18, 2019 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Right, seafire will be decal ready later, and whislt I still await parts for the canberra, I have this so at least something will come from this thread, just to find post war decals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Nice to see a Tempest in the GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Seafires almost done, just cleaning up the prop, had stuck the front prop blades on the same way as the rear. Tempest decals are ordered and sprues primed and I may also be able to squeeze a spitfire in, got the eduard spitfire xvi dual combo on its way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Sadly not the simple build I’d hoped, victim to yet another case of missing parts, this time an aeliron so that will take some scratching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well seafires done and stuck a load of spare plastic onto the tail, much thicker than the rest so going to be a lot of sanding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
